The Leafs and Penguins square off Saturday night in Toronto (CBC, 7 p.m., TSN Radio 1050). Here are five key points about the Penguins:

1. The Penguins confirmed Friday that 19-year-old defenceman Olli Maatta will remain in the NHL past the 10-game deadline for teams to return teenagers to their junior clubs. Maatta, a graduate of the London Knights, gives the club extra depth at a position where it has struggled with injuries.

2. It’s likely backup goalie Jeff Zatkoff will get a start at some point this weekend in relief of Marc-Andre Fleury. Zatkoff has had one start, a 6-3 loss to Florida. He is serving as backup in Pittsburgh while veteran Tomas Vokoun continues rehabbing from a blood clot issue. Vokoun is expected to be out several more weeks.

3. It’s expected the Pens will also debut injured defenceman Kris Letang this weekend. He was to start Friday vs. the Isles and may not be ready for back-to-back games. He has been out since suffering a lower body injury on Sept. 27.

4. The debut’s just keep coming for the Pens: forward Jayson Megna was expected to play in his first NHL game on Friday night. He was undrafted; his father, Jay, played for New Orleans in the NFL. Pittsburgh put forward Beau Bennett on IR this week and still has all-star forward James Neal on the IR.

5. Sidney Crosby is atop the scoring race in the NHL. But Evgeni Malkin is scrambling to catch up and isn’t in the top-10. Chris Kunitz is second on the team in scoring, with four goals and six assists.
